About:
Music and Music business has been the center and core of my life throughout my teenage and adult years. I have played local clubs since I was 17, been signed to major and indie labels as a drummer, guitar player and songwriter. I owned and operated my own recording and rehearsal studios in Los Angeles, Nashville and Miami. I spent many years managing, road managing, producing and counseling independent artists. I have promoted small weekly shows and large showcases as well as booked and marketed national tours.
Since 2000 I have made online music my life having developed and operated one of the first successful independent music sites in the US called Buzzplay.com. Buzzplay went through many changes over seven years until I decided to put it aside so I could take advantage of other opportunities.
The future of digital media and marketing is an obsession of mine and I am very excited by all of the opportunities they present. I spend my days and nights thinking of creative ways to capitalize on the current situation while trying to create a more even playing field for the independent artist.
